3. Commissioning
Switch on energizer with the push button
rhythmic even ticking of the pulses; the energizer is in operation.
The energizer transmits pulses to the fence and the LED display lights up.
The fact of the status LEDs not lighting up points to a defect in the power
supply.
Checking the earthing:
Provoke a short-circuit by driving a metal rod into the ground against the
pasture fence wire (not plastic) about 50 m away from the pasture fencer.
The pasture fencer should now result in the lighting up of only a maximum 1
LED (moist ground) or of a maximum 2 LEDs (dry ground) (Fig. 5 LED 9 and
8). If this is not the case, then raise the number and / or length of the earth-
ing posts.
4. Energizer Operating Description
Rechargeable battery indicator:
The rechargeable battery indicator provides information about the rechargeable battery or battery voltage. The solar display
lights up constantly in green when the solar panel charging voltage is greater than the voltage of the rechargeable battery/
battery. Whilst the solar panel charges the 12V rechargeable battery, it does not charge the 9 volt battery.
Fence voltage indicator
The 6 LEDs (LED4 - LED9) indicate the fence output voltage in 1000V steps. The indicator builds up from the left.
For herding security purposes at least 3 LEDs (3000V) should light up otherwise the voltage is too low.
Possible causes:
● With fence: Marked growth at fence, poor insulators, short-circuit at metal posts, or fence too long
● Without fence: Device is defective, see Service
Power economiser:
A fitted power economiser matches power consumption to the state of the fence. This means less current consumption with
well insulated fences and a greater current consumption with poorly insulated fences (leakages due to plant growth, etc.).
Argutector display:
The 6 LEDs ( LEDs 4 to 9) indicate fence insulation by way of the Argutector display in 6 steps. The display builds up from
the right. If all 6 LEDs light up, the fence insulation is good and little energy is required to maintain herding security. The
fewer the number of lit up LEDs, the poorer the fence insulation is due to leakages (plant growth, branches fallen onto the
fence system, short-circuit, poor earthing). Increased energy is required to keep the fence herding-secure.
Argutector display Ranger B:
Pressing the button activates the Argutector test.
If LED (1) does not light up red, then fence insulation is good and little energy is required to maintain herding security. If LED
(1) lights up red, then fence insulation is poor due to leakage (plant growth, branches fallen onto the fence system, short-cir-
cuit, poor earthing). Increased energy is required to keep the fence herding-secure.

The rechargeable battery must be recharged at the latest when discharged down to 80% (only 20% remaining left) to prevent
a flat battery. The rechargeable battery indicator (LED2) lights up:
Do note that temperature and measurement deviation may cause these figures to vary.
Caution!
When using a solar system
Only carry out a battery or rechargeable battery test at start of the day ( no solar power supplied - cover panel )
6. Disassembly, Dismantling, Storage and Transport
Disassembly, Dismantling
Before starting disassembly:
● Switch off energizer
● Disconnect entire energy supply from the energizer.
● Remove operating/auxiliary materials and any remaining working materials and dispose of in an environmentally-compati-
ble manner.
Then properly clean sub-assemblies and parts and disassemble them in taking account of the local industrial safety &
environmental protection provisions in force.
Storage, Transport
Ensure that the energizer is both stored and transported only when switched off.
NOTE!
Ensure that rechargeable batteries are stored in ventilated and dry rooms.

7. Faults and Repairs

WARNING!
Repairs may only be carried out by qualified persons.
Only the spare parts prescribed by the manufacturer may be used.
Subject to technical alterations!
Cycle sequence monitoring
The energizer has a cycle sequence monitoring unit to stop any undue energy being supplied to the fence, cycle pulses fail-
ing and to ensure that herding security is maintained. The effect of the cycle sequence rate falling to under 1 second or for no
pulses to occur for more than 5 seconds is for LED3 to flash in red. This could be due to lightning strikes, continuous flash-
overs at the fence and a defective energizer. The cycle sequence monitoring unit operates to attain a preferably high degree
of security - and fully independently of pulse generation. For this reason the display may be incorrect under certain operating
